David Laurice Gay
WEEKS MILLS – David Laurice Gay, 62, died peacefully at home on Nov. 25, 2024, surrounded by his family after a long illness. David was born in Augusta, Maine on June 27, 1962, to Roland L. Gay and Hilda Robbins Gay.
David graduated from Erskine Academy in 1980 and the Central Maine Vocational Technical Institute in 1982 having earned a degree in Machine Technology. David went on to work for a few years at Mid State Machine, then moved on to Bryant Pond to ply his trade before landing at Kennebec Technologies where he finished his career when he was recently forced to retire due to his illness.
When David was a younger man, he enjoyed snowmobiling with friends and family. David also spent free time assisting family on whatever building projects were under development. David could always be counted on to lend a hand. David was fortunate enough to travel to Alaska with his father for a fishing expedition and brought home many exciting tales of the adventures he shared with his dad and a few fish. David also enjoyed camping trips with his family and enjoyed every moment he could that was spent with his beloved nieces and nephews. David especially enjoyed hosting family get togethers at the gazebo he built on his beautiful, well maintained property in Weeks Mills.
David is survived by his mother Hilda Robbins Gay; sisters Beth Getchell and her husband Chip and Debra Bartlett and her husband Richard Jr; nieces Michelle Solomon and Nicole Lovering; nephew Jacob Solomon and his wife Natasha; great nieces Alexis Buotte, Isabelle Solomon, Gracie and Kinsley Harris, and Jasmine Lovering; great nephews Noah and Patrick Solomon and Zachary Lovering; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
David was predeceased by his father Roland Gay who recently passed away on Nov. 11, 2024; and niece Amanda Harris (Bartlett).
